    English is my native tongue. I'm working on learning Hebrew right now. I love languages. I took French in high school. And I know some Spanish, because there are alot of Spanish speakers around where I live. I think it's amazing how people can learn so many different languages. I'll be lucky if I become fluent in more than one.

    English. Ashame to say I had French in highschool, but hardly recall a thing now. Never could speak it either. I wish I did know other languages like most of you wonderful smart people. I have high regard for those who are biligual or know more than two.
